The mayor of Killarney-Turtle Mountain is excited about the prospect of 20 new jobs coming to his community.

HyLife has applied for a conditional use permit to build a new feed mill just northeast of Killarney. “The hearing is coming up on April 19th and if it passes we are looking forward to a long standing working relationship again with HyLife” said Mayor Rick Pauls.

Pauls says attracting that many jobs to a small scale community is a hard thing to do and the fact they have someone willing to invest that much into the community will mean a lot to the entire region. “This could be 20 new families which means maybe up to 80 new people moving in and that will benefit our schools and our businesses.”
HyLife has invested millions into the area leading up to this announcement and Rick Pauls sees the feed mill as an expansion of that commitment and geographically he says Killarney was a central location for the plant.

Council will hold the conditional use hearing on April 19th. “This will be built in the ag-zone and it crosses over because it isn’t actually farming but farm manufacturing. So they do need to get a conditional use permit the same as other elevators and feed mills in the community have had to do.”
Mayor Pauls doesn’t anticipate any problem getting the permit approved but he says nothing is for certain until after the hearing.
“If we approve the permit on April 19th, HyLife is good to go and construction would start shortly after the hearing.” Killarney-Turtle Mountain Mayor Rick Pauls feels the community is on a real roll.
